Godspeed Us To Sea Lyrics

Godspeed Us To Sea lyrics

Turns out I never had a thought at all. I've been talking in my sleep, reciting
teleprompted anthems - a marionette strung tight to the executives upstairs. I
almost had myself convinced that I meant everything I said. What a shame. Oh
captain, my captain, you've been drinking, What happened? I've been slurring my
cadences and blacking out when I stand. I know all about your son, who never did
return from the war. But there was poison in that bottle, I tell you. I'm coming
out with my hands in the air. This is not my voice. What you are hearing is not
me. There's been a horrible mistake. I'm a proud God-fearing registered
democrat. This is all some elaborate scheme and it will be cleared up when the
governor beckons for me. He'll clear my name. It appears that the inmates have
overrun the asylum. There's a madman at the wheel. We are not even remotely
capable of keeping our heads about us. We've abandoned all semblance of
presence. Dead bolted, buckled in. Keeping our word to the sinking ship. Let
the rats orchestrate the new mutiny, I'll meet you overboard.
